I have been running into this problem for a while now but it seems to be getting on my nerves now. If I am running a web application on the websphere server in eclipse and stop the server make some changes and save them it works great, but the problem arises if I am debugging. Whenever I start the server in debug mode and then stop the server and make some changes to the code may they be only one line change the eclipse IDE takes a very long time to save sometimes even upto 5 minutes. Its too much and decellerates the development process. Any ideas as to why is it happeneing or what could be the remedy?
